    The Inuit people lived in homes made out of ice and snow; which is called an igloo. The Inuit people were all related by blood and ties of marriage, they were seen a one big family that worked together. Each member of the family would play a role upon their survival. As seen in the video families slept all together on a caribou skins on a platform made from snow. I think that sleeping together can be seem as odd if you live in the USA, but I believe that this was a clever ideas because it created body heat when snoozing. Since they have no furniture they use their environment, which consist of snow and ice to construct objects. I also think since they are nomadic people they don’t hold much value to objects because they are always moving around. I also believe the only objects they valued were the weapons in which they used for hunting and the clothing of their backs because these were key elements for their survival. Most of the tools handcrafted by the Inuit were made out of stone, or parts of animals, like bone,…

    In the tundra, where Inuit communities are found, there are not many building materials. No trees grow in the tundra so houses can not be made from wood unless it is transported from elsewhere. However, during a large part of the year, the cold part, there is a lot of snow in the tundra. And it turns out that snow can be a very good construction material. In the winter, Inuit lived in round houses made from blocks of snow called "igloos". In the summer, when the snow melted, Inuit lived in tent-like huts made of animal skins stretched over a frame. Although most Inuit people today live in the same community year-round, and live in homes built of other construction materials that have to be imported, in the past Inuit would migrate between a summer and winter camp which was shared by several families.…
